When the Days are Dark

Chapter 12

All Might steps into an office facility, briefcase in hand as he made his way to an elevator. Each stride he took was boisterous and prideful. He could be heard coming from a mile away. His smile was as broad as ever, as he pressed the up button on the elevator's wall and patiently loitered for it to open.

Once it did, he walked in and pressed the button that would bring him to the top floor. Once he was there, the doors opened as a hot-headed blond with facial injuries stormed in.

"Monoma, wait!" another man jogged after him. All Might left, feeling eyes staring holes into the back of his head. As he glimpsed back, he could tell the gray-haired boy was glaring. So was Monoma but he was more ominous rather than furious.

All Might made his way to the double doors that stood tall at the end of the hall. He opened the door and walked in promptly. "Sekijiro! How have you been? It's been a while, right?" All Might greeted, taking a seat in front of the desk as he sat his briefcase down. "Informal much? Don't call me by my first name, Yagi." Sekijiro, also known as Vlad King, said. He never ceased working, not even for a second to look at the large man in front of him.

All might laughed wholeheartedly, "Right... So shall we begin talking business? I have a proposal for you as long as you can promise to"

"No."

"Excuse me?" All Might lifted an eyebrow. "I didn't get to finish," he said. Sekijiro eventually stopped working. He looked up, taking in a deep breath before speaking. "I don't care," he said, staring dead into All Might's eyes. "I don't want anything to do with you or your re-election. I allowed you to be here because I want to tell you this to your old, wrinkled, ugly face. I don't need your money, your support, and I certainly won't be giving you any of mine," Sekijiro explained. His speech was slow, indignant... hateful.

"Why? What's the problem?"

"Bakugou attacked Monoma for no goddamn reason." Sekijiro clamped his hands together, "And that pins us against each other because an onslaught on an ally is absolute betrayal. Keep that boy in check before I kill him and...or you."

All might gathered himself before responding. "If you don't take this proposal, I could lose... YOU could lose thousands of dollars. You cannot blame this on me, I had no idea about-" All might attempt to bargain with Sekijiro before he was quickly interrupted.

"Oh bullshit, Yagi! You had no idea? Really? One of your kids come and beat the shit out of mine, and you had no idea?" Sekijiro questioned, "Was that an intimidation strategy? Because I'm not scared, I'm livid. As you continue to stay in my presence I want to beat the shit out of you... An eye for an eye."

Sekijiro stared angrily at All Might. "Well, if you could just listen. I'm sure this proposal could help you-," All Might said, sitting his briefcase on his lap. "Call the kid off!" Sekijiro yelled, "And get the fuck out..." he grimaced, going back to his work.

All Might stood slowly and walked out.

You, Bakugou, and everyone else were sitting in the house. Every task and chore was done, so there was nothing else to do for the day. It was relatively peaceful. You scrolled on your phone, entering and exiting every app. That's just how bored you were.

Eventually, there was a loud knock at the front door.

"I got it!" Denki shouted, basically running to the door. He opened the door, revealing the aggressively hefty and furious All Might. He pushed Denki aside, a push so harsh that it caused Denki to be thrown.
